An Exciting Start To 2012

Blog Kids DanceBlog: 2012 kicks off at WAPS

Welcome parents, students, staff and visitors to 2012 at the WA Performance School! It has been a busy and exciting start to the year here at WAPS, with new staff, revamped courses and some exciting plans for the upcoming year.

You may have noticed that some of our class names have changed; Moovers and Shakers is now Little Groovers, and Ballet Babes is now Tiny Ballerinas! These are the same fun and action-packed lessons perfect for little dancers and groovers from ages two and up.

You may also have noticed a few other changes around our studio lately, including our brand new dance floor and some exciting new classes! We have a range of exciting new adult dance classes, with plenty of options for beginners as well as more experienced performers. Our other new course is our fantastic Glee Club, with both our junior and senior classes working hard to learn their energetic dance routines and catchy songs, as well as learning new theatrical skills.

Glee Club is taught by Kelsey Guard, a real life Gleek from the USA! Kelsey is a trained and professional teacher and performer, as well as a choreographer for real life show choirs just like on the Glee TV show. Kelsey’s classes are fun and energetic, training students for what is sure to be a knock-out end of year performance!

Our other new staff member this year is assistant manager and singing and drama teacher, Sylvia Sippl. You may have already spotted Sylvia behind the desk on some afternoons, or teaching singing and drama to students of a range of ages! Sylvia is an experienced and passionate performer and musician, keen to give her students a solid musical and theatrical foundation for them to build on as they develop into mature and talented performers.

2012 is shaping up to be an exciting new year filled with great opportunities for students of all ages here at WAPS. We are all really excited to watch our students grow and throughout this year, and see what our talented teachers come up with for our exciting end of year performance.

Dear WAPS Staff, Organisers, and parent helpers, Thank you for your amazing efforts in organising and managing such an entertaining and rewarding Junior Concert. It was a wonderful confidence-building exercise and it was heart-warming to see that the junior performers enjoyed themselves on stage, too. As a parent, I am sincerely grateful for how well you looked after the children backstage and it was charming to watch the teachers leading the younger ones on stage, especially the patient and gra… Read more
May & Zahra (Parent/Student feedback for end of year concert)
Thank you so much for providing the virtual classes during COVID-19 lockdown… It not only provides an activity for our children  but a way to maintain some sense of normality and routine in this unsettling time. Your dedication to the students is greatly appreciated.  It is a great way for them to maintain some skills, connection with their dance community and of course have fun!!
Anne, Parent
Hi Sarah, A big thank you to you, Beau, Stella and Cam today! Nicholas told me his party was awesome! He really enjoyed the games and learning some new dance moves. Thank you for making it so easy for me to organise 🙂
Gillian (Parent feedback for Birthday Party Package)
We wanted to say thank you to all of the teachers and assistants who have taught her so much over the last couple of years. She has really grown in her skill level and confidence, and I am very grateful for all the time taken for her, and also the faith that has been put in her abilities by her teachers. WAPS is an amazing dance school, and provided her with many opportunities that she would never have had otherwise.

Congratulations to all of WAPS staff it was a terrific concert, credit to you all. Molly has come so far I’m most appreciative.
Nicole (Parent feedback on end of year concert)
Dance in America is something that I believe you just have to experience to get a real appreciation for this art. By getting to be a part of the tour, it truly opened my eyes to just what I can be capable of, even if I am of a non traditional age to be dancing and learning new skills. It helped me form new dreams, and to me, that alone makes the whole experience so worth it.
Kirsten, WAPS Adult Dance Team Member, Dance Excellence Tour (LA) 2018
I just wanted to thank you for offering the class via Zoom. It’s so great for her to be able to join in with something fun every week and continue her dancing till things get back to being able to be out and about safely. It’s so important for children to be able to connect in this way and feel part of something familiar. This season, my boy has missed over 7 hours of soccer a week and I really feel for him not being able to have the physical activity and mental health benefits that gr… Read more

My daughter left your class yesterday on cloud 9! She was so happy with her progress and the fact that you acknowledged her progress in front of the class. The girls in the group have been so supportive and helpful. Your class is the highlight of her week. THANK YOU!
